Household survey data of integrated land and water management for adaptation to climate variability and change in West Africa.

This data was collected in seven west African countries namely Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Benin, Gambia and Senegal. In 2012, the Danish government funded seven projects in west Africa to help small scale farmers adapt to the negative effects of climate change. These projects were implemented by West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF/WECARD). In 2018, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) were commissioned by the world bank to evaluate the results and impact of these projects. The main objective of collecting this data was to conduct an impact assessment, identify success stories of the seven projects and identify site specific land and water management practices that can be scaled out to enhance farmer’s resilience to climate change and variability.

本数据集采集自七个西非国家，分别为尼日利亚、布基纳法索、塞拉利昂、贝宁、冈比亚与塞内加尔。2012年，丹麦政府资助了西非地区的七个项目，以帮助小规模农户适应气候变化带来的负面影响。上述项目由西非和中非农业研究与发展委员会（West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development, CORAF/WECARD）负责实施。2018年，国际热带农业中心（International Center for Tropical Agriculture, CIAT）、国际水管理研究所（International Water Management Institute, IWMI）与国际粮食政策研究所（International Food Policy Research Institute, IFPRI）受世界银行委托，对上述项目的实施成果与影响开展评估。本数据集的核心采集目标为开展项目影响评估、梳理七个项目的成功案例，并识别可推广复制的本地化水土管理实践，以提升农户应对气候变化与气候变异性的韧性。
